Out, gas , and lunch then gas

yep… didn’t do much today either… I think it is a bad habit?  I did a little book keeping to get more stuff ready for taxes OUCH! and then took off to get the jeep filled up with gas.  I had seen the new station down by Walmart was cheaper or nearly as cheap as the Sam’s in the springs so I was headed there.  So new it is not on @Gasbuddy.  I suggested it as a new station and got filled up.  Since it is a Murphy express I would assume it may have something to do with Walmart? but maybe not.  I run into a lot of Murphy gas stations near Wal-Mart’s but find them all over.  My hope is they keep the cheaper gas price as I will go there often.  Once done with that the others wanted to meet up at Arlene’s beans.  We have eaten there several times and suspect we will continue to trek over to Palmer for some pretty good Mexican food.  It is a really small place and more set up for takeout but the food is not the normal “fast food” type.  It is all made fresh right there… They do have seating if you want to eat it there and we did that this time… while it was hot…

That was mine… had the pulled pork (Edgewood) burrito smothered in Green chili… Don’t get much better than that.  Although the green chili is the “meat-less” variety it is still pretty tasty. 

I do have a lot of things I need to get on… multiple little projects but I am finding it hard to get the strong push to get more than one or two done in a day and surely not going out in 30 degree temps to work outside.  The garage is not heated so I don’t venture out there much either.  oh well…

I did some searches in the afternoon for desks that would work for my Ham Radio habit but I think I will have to build what I want to fit the space that I have… so that will wait till it gets a bit warmer too.   I think I will got with cabinet type counter tops put together on a base that I build to look more like this:

Think this might work as I can always find those finished countertops at a reasonable price.

or maybe I can do it with plywood?

This plywood system would require the top be finished ?   All just ideas at present.

My old operating station was on an old door put on some cabinet drawers made by an old friend but that door was 36 inches wide and my spot now is 28 inches  (about right for cabinet tops).  I think I may have to clean it up a bit for this location? at least some false backing to hide most of the wires?
